Professional Activities Module

The Professional Activities module makes it possible to quickly find all of the activities (as author, producer, and/or actor) for every individual (including possible name variants), who is included in the Theatre Productions database.

The Production database contains all of the data that the Arts and Theatre Institute’s Information and Documentation Department has available for theatre productions in the Czech Republic covering the 1945 to the 2011/12 seasons. The authors, producers and cast are listed in the same order as on the programme for the production – any alternates, understudies and other subsequent casting changes are therefore not available in the majority of cases.

Performing a Search in the Professional Activities Module

The searches do not take diacritics into account.

Click on the Person field. This opens a dropdown list of names. Type a name or part of the name you are searching for to limit the selection. Click on a single name, or tick multiple names and click OK. Your selection(s) are indicated in the Person field. Click Search to complete your query.

Besides using the mouse, you can also navigate through the interim results with your keyboard:

Left / Right (arrows) = move to preceding / next row

Insert = select row + move to next row

PageDown / PageUp = move to preceding / next page

Home / End = move to first row of first page / last page

Once you have selected the person(s) for your query, you can limit the selection of activities by ticking the appropriate box: author, producer, or actor. If you do not tick a particular activity, all activities will be selected.

If you wish to search for all possible variations of a name, tick the box Search all name variants and pseudonyms for the selected person(s), otherwise the search will use the selected name exactly as typed.
